'Megan is Missing' is a very powerful film. Although it's based on true events (actually its based on a number of cases not just one) it still manages to come across as terrifying. It's a warning to all people out there never to trust what people say over a computer screen, and to always go with someone else when you are going to meet them. Sadly younger girls are awfully naive when it comes to this sort of thing, and can become embroiled in situations beyond their control.
Megan is a popular, confident and pretty 15 year old girl, who enjoys promiscuous enocunters with guys, partying and doing drugs. Her 13 year old best friend Amy is the complete polar opposite, shy, insecure and quiet, but somehow, the two girls are very close and perfectly compatible. When Megan starts talking to a boy on the internet, all she can think of is when and where they can meet, and without telling Amy where she is going, she disappears. A few days later Amy is also gone.
An important film to watch, and very upsetting in some scenes, but actually one of the better 'lost footage' movies of it's time.
